Fighting continued through Veterans Day and beyond, and by November 19, American troops had finally begun the official assault

on Hill 875. Sadly, this final push also resulted in one of the worst “friendly fire” incidents in Vietnam, when a Marine Corp fighter

bomber accidentally dropped a 500-pound bomb near the American perimeter, killing 42 men and injuring another 45.
